    I didn't see a thread for Earl L. Henderson Trucking on the Trucking Companies DAC Reports thread so I was hoping to start one here. Does anyone have any current (within the last two years) information on this company?

    I saw that. The equipment is absolutely beautiful. But do you have any information on the company itself. From either the perspective of a lease or company driver?

    Thanks Mike the only other questions I would have would about any hidden costs that I might run into upon hiring. Will I be charged for physical, king-pin/trailer locks or any other equipment. (as a company driver)

    I had a long talk with Bill the other day as far as the L/P program. He went over all of the costs, and there where no hidden. The pay is actually .94/mi. Out of that they take .02/mi for the maintenence account. They do not reimburse scales, said that they are tax detuctible. They do not pay for the QC if you want one in the truck. They also have two different escrows, which r $100/wk deduction until paid. One is for $3K and the other $1K. For the first 30 weeks on the new Cascadia, the total fixed costs are close to $950. After 10 weeks, take $100 off that, and then after another 20 weeks, take another $100 off that. We are going to talk again on Monday. There are some new questions that I want to ask and some more info I want to make sure of.

    Nothing within the last year or so, in trucking that's equal to what? 5yrs in civilian life?

    Anyhow, I'm in the orientation hotel right now and starting up tomorrow.
